Switching to Verizon

Hello i have been with T Mobile for years and just want a better Android phone and much better coverage and service! So i am going to switch to Verizon. My question is?? What are some advantages to buying phones for the Verizon store as opposed to online stores? The online stores seem much cheaper.. I would like to here some other people opinions on this subject before i make my purchase. I am buying two phones. Any help or advice is much appreciated!!

Well i going to tell you this much so far.. The Motorola Droid build seem way better to me! It is just a really well built phone! If you are like me i will root my phone give it a modest over clock and my own custom roms!! I am not saying the incredible is a poorly built phone, but it sure feels cheap. With the sense UI it looks great but to me it will limit customization and android updates! From past phones with sense UI updates are few and far between. Also a small over clock of just 550 to 800 more then makes the phone snappy. In fact it out does the 1 gig snapdragon cpu's! All in All i Love android and i will be customizing this phone! Already waiting for DROID #2!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ha ha

Oh yea also had a Nexus one for a very short time. The cpu was fast but overclocking really was not that good with the snapdragon. I know not every body is into Over clocking and custom rom's.

I'm thinking of getting a Nexus One. Why did you end up getting rid of it? Any dealbreakers I should know about?

Honestly for me the Nexus one is a really cool phone!! Now take this with a grain of salt but T mobile did a crappy job supporting the phone. Also a lot of the phone's have a antenna problem meaning 3g signal drop out! Yes i know this can happen with other phones but to have two t mobile phones side by side and lose signal was very disappointing! Anyway the signal drop out to me is a HTC problem also see Incredible. Not as big problem but there is something there. Before anyone jumps down my throat i did not say all HTC but Nexus and incredible have both had some of these problems. They way to test for a bad antenna is put your hand over the back of the phones or turn them upside down. The signal will either go down or out! Now maybe with the newer Nexus one this is fixed or maybe it's a few bad phones but for me this was a deal breaker. I also go hunting and fishing a lot and T mobile coverage was and is very limited here.

Seems like most of the complaints on service were the result of T-Mobile. I'd be getting it with AT&T, and I have no complaints about the coverage with my current phone.. I'm still debating though.

I have the Moto Droid too. I think it is a great phone. It is sturdy built and can take a fall, even on concrete and still be kicking as long as you don't drop it on the screen itself.

The result of complaints had much to do with the phone and it's ability to hold onto a signal. Even with an AT&T version it does poorly but not as poor as the T-Mobile version.

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Hopper 3 with Hopper plus internet connection problems

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
